I think Nobel was somewhat remorseful about his past and created the Nobel Prize. He probably never imagined any creation of his own being
destructive and deadly toward other people. I also think Snowden revealed something that many knew, but only needed the kickstart to confirm it, that
the US government was conducting a war against its own people. If anybody deserved the prize, I can't imagine why Snowden wouldn't. Giving the
Nobel for any reason to Obama is an insult to the extreme. It would be a breath of fresh air to see somebody who actually sacrificed something for
the good of other people to get it.

I feel he has done a monumental thing in the overall picture. If sheer transparency was in every government, they have absolutely no choice but to
work for their people. After all, they're supposed to be public servants.

Imagine if we had a government that actually worked for the people, and only the people. What a crazy theory that is...

My sentiments exactly. After Obama, I view the whole NPP as a joke. I'm in Norway, and I can guarantee you the only reason he got it is because he
was the first black president. That's how politically correct Norway is and they wanted in on the action. Let's face it, he's done nothing
to deserve it.
